Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 865: Protection magic
After ending the Horcrux prophecy, Albert did not leave the principal's office in a hurry, but chatted with Dumbledore like an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time. However, the topic of conversation between the two was quickly misdirected by Albert, which first turned into an academic exchange, and then turned into a mode in which Albert asked questions and Dumbledore helped to answer them.
Although Dumbledore has not paid much attention to academic issues in recent years, he has also served as a professor at Hogwarts, and is still willing to explain the diligent and studious Albert.
However, when Albert took out a quill from his pocket and started taking notes, Dumbledore had some suspicions that the Sorting Hat had put Albert in the wrong house.
The exchange between the two sides was quite pleasant, but the topic was so boring that the portraits in the principal's office closed their eyes and rested.
After an hour, Albert finished asking Dumbledore a few questions from the original notes.
After another half hour, Albert left the headmaster's office contentedly with the borrowed ancient rune notebook, which recorded Dumbledore's research on ancient rune.
Tonight was a great harvest, thanks to the thick skin he has developed over the past few years: Albert said that he was going to write a book of runes, hoping to get help from Dumbledore and come over occasionally Talk to him about Ancient Runes.
So, Dumbledore graciously lent his old notebook to Albert.
In the entire British magic world, there are actually very few experts who are good at ancient Rune. If those notes are not lent to others, they will end up in ashes, or even be completely forgotten by people. If they lend them to Albert, maybe the other party will return them. Really able to come out of this book of magic.
Dumbledore doesn't know whether the Book of Runes can benefit other people, but he knows that it's okay to have multiple reliable friends, not to mention that Albert and them are fellow travelers. Invite him to join the Order of the Phoenix.
Although Dumbledore is reluctant to admit it, all kinds of things that are happening now seem to portend that something terrible is about to happen.
Dumbledore had heard rumors of a second wizarding war long ago, when he even went to the Forbidden Forest to ask centaurs who were good at divination. Margery told him that the war-bringing sparks shone brightly in the sky, suggesting that war would soon resume. The Centaurs believed that the people of the wizarding world were only living through a brief period of peace between the two wars.
To be honest, Dumbledore is actually reluctant to believe in prophecy. It involves too much cause and effect, and many times the prophecy is not necessarily accurate. But now he has to admit that the centaurs' prophecy may come true, because Albert seems to have predicted the upcoming turmoil, otherwise he would not have invited himself to his wedding in advance.
After all, invitations are sent one or two months before the wedding, not two years in advance.
Albert actually guessed Dumbledore's thoughts, but he didn't care too much.
Join the Order of the Phoenix?
That's obviously impossible. Not to mention that he himself is not that great, his own life is more important, and he also doesn't believe in Snape. At most, he will do a little favor at that time, push them in the back, and let Voldemort go on the road sooner.
As for not being able to block Barty again, although it is a bit regrettable, Albert can also see that Dumbledore still retains the most basic trust in his old friend, so he knows that he can't be in a hurry, wait. Lee became the fourth warrior. I believe that Dumbledore will definitely remember his old friend and pay special attention to it. This is what Ai Shenqiu has to do, subtly affecting Dumbledore's judgment.
After all, someone like Dumbledore obviously won't easily believe other people's one-sided words, he is more willing to believe in himself.
…
The fact that he was an alternate member of Wizengamore still had some impact on Albert's life.
At least in those few days, Fred, George, and Lee Jordan couldn't let go of talking to him. Obviously, their good friends who couldn't adapt well suddenly became "big men".
However, this situation did not last long, probably because Albert was still the same Albert before, and his attitude towards them did not change because he became a big man, so everyone gradually returned to normal, and the three of them also Start practicing with Albert the defensive magics mentioned in the Defense Guide magazine.
After spending two weeks teaching them how to master protection magic, Albert took advantage of the sunny weekend to take Fred, George and Lee Jordan to the Forbidden Forest to do practical tests and collect some information for future use. The Wild Survival Guide to accumulate experience data.
Hagrid saw the four people walking towards the woods from the window of his hut, and waved at them and shouted, "Hey, what are you going to do in the woods?"
"We plan to go into the woods to test magic." Albert said without hesitation.
Hagrid was a little speechless for a while, not understanding why Albert was able to speak up about violating the school rules so confidently.
"You should know that the students are forbidden to enter the woods, Albert, you are the prefect, and you take the lead in breaking the school rules." Hagrid poked Albert's chest with his finger, warning, "Be careful of me bucking the grid. Ryffindor score."
What do you mean we're going into the woods to test magic?
Is this telling him directly that we are going to break the school rules?
"Come on, Hagrid. I don't think you want Slytherin to win the House Cup, do you?" Albert explained with a smile, "We're just testing magic in the woods nearby, and if If you are worried, you can come over and take a look, by the way, bring your teeth on by the way."
"Okay, I'd like to see what the **** you guys are up to!" Hagrid was still a little worried, worried that the four of them had really messed up.
After they came to a clearing, Albert took out a disc-like thing from his pocket.
"What is this?" Hagrid asked suspiciously.
"I call this a hazard warning device." Albert handed the item to George.
"Danger warning?" Hagrid looked suspiciously at the palm-sized gadget.
"Yes, as long as there is a wizard approaching, the danger warning device will warn, and if the other party is malicious, a red alert will be issued."
Fred, George and Lee Jordan can understand the magic of this thing, if they are in the wild, they need this thing to warn themselves.
"What the **** is this?"
Hagrid saw that Albert took out four metal pillars with carved patterns and gave them to Fred. This guy always has a lot of strange things on him.
"This thing makes spells last longer, and there's actually something like that on the walls of Hogwarts," Albert explained.
"Is there?" Hagrid clearly didn't believe it.
"Of course there are, they're just hidden, they're one of the defenses at Hogwarts." Albert said to himself, "That's why I said the ancient runes are important, but a lot of people I don't even know how to interpret these things."
This thing is actually one of Dumbledore's research results.
"Let's go Hagrid, we'll be over here to check the situation here."
"What's the point of doing this?"
Hagrid left with Albert in confusion, wondering what the **** they were up to.
"Of course it makes sense," Albert explained. "These spells can create a safe temporary camp in the wild in a short period of time.
"Temporary camp, do you mean camping?"
"You can think so." Albert didn't lie, saying that it was actually wild camping, but the nature was different.
He mainly wanted to make Fred, George and Lee Jordan understand that building a safe temporary camp is not the more protection magic the more safe, but should let people not know the specific location, can't find it, don't know, then It's really safe, because most of the protective magic can actually be easily cracked. "
This is also one of the topics that Albert wants to discuss with Dumbledore, but Albert is not in a hurry. He believes that Dumbledore will still find himself. At that time, he will be slowly digging out of the other party. Like digging for treasure.
"You think something bad might happen in the future," Hagrid asked in a low voice.
"Yes, I have such a hunch, especially after the Dark Mark appeared at the World Cup, that hunch became stronger, and there would be turmoil in the wizarding world. I remember the centaurs said a similar prophecy.
"The prophecy of the centaurs?"
"They think the people of the wizarding world are just passing through a brief period of peace between the two wars." Albert said calmly: "Actually, I think the centaurs are right."
"Two wars?" Hagrid was flustered, but Albert didn't seem to be frightening himself.
"Well, I have a hunch, after a while, you should be able to feel the imminent war." Albert took out his pocket watch to check the time: "Hogwarts will no longer be safe by then."
"Isn't Hogwarts safe? This is the safest place in the whole of England. Dumbledore is here, and even You-Know-Who dares not approach Hogwarts." Hagrid thought this was absurd.
"Let's go Hagrid, let's go back and see how the three of them are doing." Albert and Hagrid followed the same path back to the clearing, but the clearing there was gone, replaced by lush greenery jungle.
"What's going on here?" Hagrid was even more puzzled. "I remember this place seemed to be an open space just now?"
"It's a disguise spell."
Albert took out the dragon leather glove from his pocket and put it on his hand, raised his hand and probed forward, feeling as if he had touched something.
In Hagrid's field of vision, he saw that Albert's hand seemed to touch something invisible and tapped twice.
"It should be a protection spell, all protection, but it's a bit obvious. Anyone who finds a transparent barrier here will find that there is a problem here." Albert glanced again at Hagrid's feet, who was sniffing around. Fang said, "You forgot to use the spell to banish the beast."
Hagrid opened his mouth and saw Albert raise his wand and shake it slightly. A stun spell hit the area in front of him. The spell seemed to deflect slightly, knocking the skin of a hapless tree not far away. Chipped off a piece.
"Safely guard, but I feel that this spell is useless. Once hit by a large number of magic, this spell will definitely be easily shattered." Albert muttered.
"At least, it deflects your stun spell."
Fred, George and Lee Jordan suddenly appear in front of them.
"But, you're right, these protective spells aren't very effective, they're easy to break through."
"Honestly, I feel cheated by the defense guide."
"Yes, these spells are useless."
All three have the illusion that they have been deceived.
"You got it wrong from the beginning. Remember that the moment a safe house is found, no matter how strong it is, it is no longer safe." Albert reminded: "The most important thing about these spells is It's to keep you from being found, to hide you, to protect you, not to confront intruders head-on, and two of their greatest uses is to give you a few seconds to Apparate, and I bet you forgot. Instead of using a shielding spell to hide their presence, they can easily find your location with a tracking spell or owl."
The three looked at each other, realizing that they seemed to have misunderstood the usage of these spells.
However, they felt that it was not only themselves who misunderstood, but 80% of others.
"You can find another place nearby, I'll come and see later, at least so that ordinary wizards can't find your camp."
"Ordinary wizards?" The three directly excluded Albert, looked at Hagrid and asked, "Hagrid didn't find the location of the camp just now!"
A child, on the way back to the castle, Fred said to Albert, "Can you teach us some more useful protective spells."
"I think the magic that Albert teaches is very useful, and what he said makes sense." George knew that it was difficult to learn those superb magics at their current level.
"Can you?" Li Jordan also looked at Albert with expectant eyes.
"There is a very strong protective spell called the Faithful Loyalty Spell. As long as this spell is used, even the mysterious person can't get past the secrecy person and break through the spell's protection."
"Since there is such a powerful protective magic, why do we still need to learn those things?" Li Jordan asked suspiciously.
"Because it's hard, very hard."
"Are you going to be brave with the Faithful Charm?" All three looked at Albert with anticipation.
"Yes, but you definitely won't be able to master it now." Albert shook his head and said, "It's an extremely complicated spell, much more difficult than the Patronus spell."
"We can learn slowly."
The three obviously did not intend to give up.
"I will teach you, but not now." Albert seemed to think of something, and suddenly said, "By the way, do you remember Harry's family? They used this spell on their own house. , but was finally betrayed by his good friend Wormtail and died at the hands of the mysterious man."
The three fell silent for a moment.
Betrayal is undoubtedly a heavy topic.
"Do you know why Wormtail betrayed?" George couldn't help asking, "Honestly ~IndoMTL.com~ I don't understand."
"You-Know-Who probably threatened him with Wormtail's family." Albert looked at the three and asked back, "If it were you, what would you do?"
The three were silent again, because this was a very specific question, and they didn't know how to answer it.
"I don't know."
"This is the weakness of the spell." Albert said calmly, "James's death can only be said that he chose the wrong secrecy, anyway, I will definitely not ask you to be the secrecy."
The three of them could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Albert knew they weren't ready, so he wasn't in a hurry.
"Besides, you can't expect guys who can't even use Iron Armor spells well to master such spells." Albert changed the subject, "The things just tested are more suitable for ordinary wizards, trust me, they don't As bad as you think, as long as you use it properly, it can also produce very good results."
"Well, you can always convince us."
"When will we start building the secret base?"
"I think Gryffindor's Chamber of Secrets is pretty good, it just needs a little modification."
"Don't worry, things will come step by step." Albert reassured, "I will discuss this matter after I finish writing the guide to survival in the wild. Anyway, before we graduate, there will be time to mess with us. 's secret base."
